I would agree that I likely missed out on the Giro, and I understand they really don't care, I suppose so be it. It is generally more interesting than Le tour which Sky have turned into a somewhat boring race.

Thanks guys. This time next week I will be in transit. We plan to ride the Stelvio on the 20th, so here is hoping for some good weather then.

For me, I am totally off cycling form, but I think I will be OK to get up there slowly (I am an OK climber and relatively light). I am not doing a cycling holiday as such so don't need to keep up with my quicker mates day after day. Just need to get up there with my wife once and savour the experience. She is a great cyclist, but not used to this sort of thing, so I expect it will be a roller coaster ride of extreme highs and some tough lows, but overall will be a great experience.

All the best on your trip g-boaf!

Thanks. Have fun over there - can't wait to see the photos. Good luck, safe travels.
